A sex scandal at the Thika SDA church is at the centre of a High Court case in Nairobi. Peter Mwaura, a church elder, learnt about his wife's affair with Pastor Joshua Njoroge after she confessed in the presence of a district pastor and the elders. The pastor was to be ex-communicated. Instead, the church reinstated him and blamed the elder’s wife.
Upon his own investigations, Mwaura discovered the affair had been going on for three years. As part of the affair, Pastor Njuguna had been sending Mwaura’s wife money, sometimes twice daily through M-pesa.
